Ability to remote control a plex client

Hey,

I really enjoyed Plex’s old feature that allowed remote controlling of various clients. However it had various bottlenecks such as the pre-requisitory of having the server and the client on the same network etc. I would love to see a http remote api implemented where we can control the playback more in depth with seeking, play/pause and stop functions. Also subtitle/dub changing option. I know that would be a lot of work on the client side however watch together is already implemented which could be a great starting point for pausing the content.

I believe it would be extremely convenient to be able to remote control our favorite plex clients with any device.

Just catching up on this suggestion…
Given I’ve recently started playing with this, it appears all those features exist – except for the option to fling/control media outside your own network.
